    Firstly , We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
    ⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
    Now, ∠ADB = 90°

    Correct Option: D

    Firstly , We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
    ⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
    Now, ∠ADB = 90°
    In ∆ADB , ∠ BAD + ∠ ABD + ∠ ADB = 180°
    ⇒ ∠ BAD + 90° + 35° = 180°
    ∴ ∠BAD = 55°


  1. If ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle with ∠C = 90° and AC = 5 cm, then AB is :

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    In isosceles triangle ,
    AC = BC = 5 cm
    ∴ AB = √AB² + BC²
    AB = √5² + 5²

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    In isosceles triangle ,
    AC = BC = 5 cm
    ∴ AB = √AB² + BC²
    AB = √5² + 5²
    AB = √50 = 5√2cm

    if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is called equilateral.

    Correct Option: B

    We know that in a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is called equilateral.


  1. In the given figure, DE || BC if AD = 1.7 cm, AB = 6.8 cm and AC = 9 cm, find AE.

    Since DE || BC, We can use the formula,

    AB = AC
    ADAE

    Correct Option: A

    Since DE || BC,

    AB = AC
    ADAE

    68 = 9
    17AE

    or , AE = 9 = 2.25cm

  1. The complement of 30°20′ is:

    complement of 30°20′ = 90° – ( 30°20′ ) = 90° – ( 30° + 20′ )
    = (89° – 30°) + (1° – 20′)

    Correct Option: B

    complement of 30°20′ = 90° – ( 30°20′ ) = 90° – ( 30° + 20′ )
    = (89° – 30°) + (1° – 20′)
    = 59° + 60′ – 20′ [ ∴ 1° = 60°′]
    = 59° + 40′ = 59°40′.
